I am Halgrave, an avid RP-PVPer, and I am part of a project that we intend to become a hub of sorts specifically for Role Players of Ashes of Creation. We present Ashes of Creation Roleplay, an Unofficial RP Community site geared toward players and guilds alike who want to gather and share content, be it characters, journals, public events, or whatever! With this site we will be attempting to gather RPers and guilds alike from across the regions so they can have one place focused entirely on their RP experience and those they might meet outside of their guilds. We have a Discord channel and are always looking for on-site suggestions as to how we can improve, but this is to be considered our launch post. If you join up on the site, feel free to post your comments here to generate buzz and get those less outspoken RPers to crawl out and partake! Thanks for reading and we hope to see you there!]]>
What is Roleplay and Why do we do it?https://forums.ashesofcreation.com/discussion/36784/what-is-roleplay-and-why-do-we-do-it
Tue, 07 Nov 2017 17:24:48 +0000Role-playing TavernKesarakk36784@/discussionsVren wiped a handful of blood from his brow. The cold air stung at the wound and the dwarf knew he would not last long in his current condition. Animal cries on his left told him he was not out of the woods yet. The dwarf picked up his Warhammer and hoisted himself back to his feet. Vren crept along the alley, careful not to strain his wounds. Where is that blasted mage… thought the dwarf. As if in answer, a flash of lightning filled the sky. Thunder filled the dwarf’s ears and he quickened his pace. Damned robe-wearin’-book lovin’-fool-of-an-orc…

Above is an example of what you might find in a forum roleplay. But what is this thing called “Roleplay”? Why do people like it? With 10 years worth of writing experience and being an avid Roleplayer on multiple platforms (No, I have not gotten to the LARP stage… yet) I hope I can translate to you what it means to be a roleplayer and get you to try it for yourself. Ready?

-What is Roleplay?

Roleplaying is, in essence, the creation of a collective story. Where a writer would develop a story behind closed doors, a forum roleplay has anywhere between 2-5 players writing the story together. Take our example I wrote above. We know that Vren, the character who I am roleplaying, has seen battle and in a dire situation. You also notice that he is looking for a “Fool-Of-An-Orc” who is his mage companion. This mage would represent another player, while whoever they are fighting with would represent a third. So far, we know that there are at least three Roleplayers involved. But why do they bother making a collective story?

- Stories we want to see!

While I can only speak for myself, I believe there is a general consensus that books/games/tv shows/movies leave us wanting more. When one of these stories ignite a spark in our very core, we can never get our fill. Take Granddaddy Tolkien’s The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings as an example. Over 1,000 pages of hobbits, goblins, elves, and wizards haven't been enough for 3 generations of fantasy fans. Do we wait for another writer to come along- to wow us in that feeling of epic nostalgia? The answer is, believe it or not, No. Anyone who has written a piece of fiction, be it a short story or a novel, will tell you there are two things a writer uses in bulk: Time and a good, stiff drink (Coffee for me personally). The active imagination of a Roleplayer can’t wait for the latest Tolkien, Martin, or Rowling to give us another world to explore. We bide our time for such stories with living the stories we want to see. By coming together as a community, we create stories that make us smile and feel like we have eaten a three-course meal for the mind and soul. If you have ever finished a book/movie/RPG and sat there for a couple of minutes with a smile and a warm feeling in your heart, you know what I’m talking about. This may sound like heaven for the imagination, but we all know how salty the internet is, so how do we keep from pulling a Martin and hosting a red wedding every time someone posts, because they want to sit on the iron throne?

-Who does what?

When a player initiates( an IP for short) a Roleplay, they not only Setting the Stage where the story takes place, they also make the rules. At the end of this post, I will give an example of an initiation post at the bottom, for those interested. As stated before, the creator of the roleplay(IP) has say of what the rules are. Likewise, this player may set limitations on who can join by stating how many slots are open for players to fill and the types of characters that can be found in the story. Is this fair? I think it is. Every team has their captain, every kitchen has their chef, therefore every story has its editor. This may be a strong term and have a negative connotation, but it is the truth. No, this player won’t be combing through your post with a proverbial blue pen, picking out grammatical errors or telling you they don’t believe your character would do such a thing, based on what we know about them. This is, after all a simple roleplay. We aren’t going for prizes or major payoffs from a publisher, we are just telling a story. How smooth that story runs is based on how an IP can keep other players in line without giving off negative vibes, but keeping to the predetermined rules. What of those rules, by the way? How important are they?

-Rules of Engagement

Rules vary between players. Some people prefer their story to reflect the world that they are portraying while others enjoy the chaos of different minds coming together making a melting pot of different worlds as though it’s an episode of Doctor Who. Is either of these wrong? Not at all. This shows the difference between the types of role players you run into. Rules are little more than the Laws of Physics for that story. As a great man once said, “A Man’s Gotta Know His Limitations.”. So what are some general rules of roleplay? I have compiled a short list of rules that are more-or-less common through most roleplays:

-No Godmoding!(Some of you may have chuckled at this first rule, and is more of an unspoken etiquette and most IPs don’t list the rule for this reason, but for those unfamiliar with this term allow me to explain: Godmoding is the act of a player taking control of the story to benefit their character to either get them out of a tricky situation or downright kill another person’s character. In the world of writing, we call this Deus Ex Machina. Not only is this very poor storytelling, and I personally believe anyone who uses Deus Ex Machina should have their mouth washed out with soap and sent to bed without supper, but this is also unfair. WHHAAATTT?! The Internet is unfair? Who would have thought…! Sarcasm aside, the goal of a roleplay is to tell a story through the eyes of many characters and to have fun doing it. It is not meant for a single player to feel like that one anime character who gets their butt kicked for 10 episodes, then one-shots the boss in the finale just because they did some screaming. If you want that, I suggest avoiding roleplaying altogether and do something that fits your style of play… Diablo may suit this just fine.)

- Post limit two paragraphs (I have this rule in my own roleplays and it’s mostly for me. I’ve always been an airbag and tend to make posts the size of small novels. This limit not only keeps one player from overloading everyone with details best left to the imagination, but it helps move the story forward. Anyone who has done their share of roleplaying knows that usually after the second paragraph the eyes glaze over and we get lost. Bad. Bad. Bad! Posts should be short and sweet, like that love letter some of us remember writing in school before the age of cell-phones and hoping it didn’t fall into the wrong hands. Anything longer, you lose players and the roleplay will die.)

- X weapons and technology are prohibited (It honestly irks me when you have a story set in a high fantasy world, full of magic and medieval combat, then some moron comes riding in on a Harley, firing shots in the air with their Colt Python. Blame can’t be placed squarely on the said moron who makes such a ridiculous post. The IP has to take responsibility as well, after all, they are the ones who allowed that person to make such a post in the first place. Give players an inch and before you can say go they are already halfway across the world… It wouldn’t hurt the IP to have interested players PM them ahead of time on what their character can do.)

- PG/PG-13 Only (It is easy for us to forget how young we were when we first started our online gaming careers. I’d say I was between 10-13 before I picked up my first keyboard and mouse and threw myself into a World of Warcraft. With that in mind, we must stay age appropriate in our stories. Not all RPs hold to this rule, in fact, you can find plenty of X-rated roleplays out there on other websites. Again, there is nothing wrong with this, we all have our own ideas of stories we want to see, but this is Ashes of Creation not Asses of Creation. I think the majority of our community would agree. We want to fight monsters, blow things up with magic, and conquer cities for the glory of our guilds and nodes. The “darker” side of RP is best left in PMs and other websites and I won’t even go into the terms and conditions set by Intrepid Studios. I’m long-winded, but even I have my limit, thanks. Bottom line, make your stories fit for your players and audience. Few things are less embarrassing than reading a post that looks something like this:

Look here you nasty perverts! My son is only 12 years old and the content of this “Roleplay” has gotten out of hand. Stop posting at once or I’ll be forced to call the cops and have you all arrested for solicitation of a minor! - Signed, Pissed-Off Parent

Now, our wonderful Moderators would have an RP like this ban hammered before you can even say “Once Upon A Time”, but can we agree this shouldn't even happen?)

-Final Thoughts

Ashes of Creation is one of the best family communities that I have had the pleasure of being adopted into. Sure, just like all families, we have that dirty uncle we roll our eyes at and that cousin you wish would have stayed home during the holidays, but we are that… a family. Now, with the Roleplay forums, another side of the family can come together and continue our hype for the MMO to end other MMOs. My goal with this post wasn’t to feel self-important, or to waste your time with my terrible humor, but it was to help those of our community who do not understand what roleplay is to gain that understanding and hopefully spark an interest at trying their hand at it. This post is how I view RP and my past experiences with it. I welcome the community to share their experiences and how they run their own roleplays, or at least what they enjoy about them. Let’s make some magic!

-Example Initiation Post

Grimbol is under siege. Yetek, a rival power in the south, has come full force to crush the city of Grimbol and make it part of their growing empire. Smoke fills the streets of the glittering city as fires are put out by the city guard. The ground shakes with stone meeting stone in the endless barrage of the Yetek. Vren, a Dünir Dwarf Cleric, has answered the general call of the Mayor. He gathers in the Market Proper with the other champions of Grimbol to repel the attack. He has doubts about how long the city will hold, but he has faith that the Yetek will turn tail and run when they see the fury of a dwarf.

“As the flavor text above shows, this RP is a gauntlet-fighting style RP. As the IP, I will be narrating the battling armies based on the direction of the RP. If the Yetek players gain the upper hand through the Roleplay, then their Yetek army will advance further into the city. Should the Grimbol players hold their ground, the Yetek attack will look more like a retreat. The story will end with either the destruction of Grimbol or retreat of the Yetek. If you have an interest in joining this conflict, please PM me your character sheet and I will add them to the list of characters in play. Character photos are permitted to add a visual for your character. Below are the set of rules for the RP and the Character Skeleton. Any questions please feel free to PM me!”

-No Godmoding

-Characters must be one of the 8 archetypes for Ashes, combinations are allowed.

-PG-13: This includes both physical actions of players and language. Please censor yourselves

- Firearms, machines, robots, etc. Are prohibited. This world is set in Vera in Ashes of Creation. Only items and weapons found in the game are allowed.

- Limited Magic: Please, no meteor showers that can level a city, an earthquake that can shatter the world, etc. Unique spells are allowed but should feel no more powerful than the traditional spells such as Fireball and Lightning Bolt. A good guideline would be level 3 spells and lower in Dungeon and Dragon manuals.

-Post Limit: 2 Paragraphs, 1 if you can manage.

-Active Posts, no less than once per week pending RP activity. I will be moving the story forward every week. Any players who haven’t posted within that time frame will have their characters removed George R.R. Martin style. If you have to take a break to deal with IRL issues, please PM me ahead of time or make an OOC comment in your last post.

Keep in mind that any discussion about this as well as AoC is welcome! See you guys on the other side of the portal!

Character Name: Ástríðr LichtAge: 22Gender: MaleRace: Vaelune

Chapter 1:
Introduction

Growing up among the Kaelar, a
proud race whom ruled a vast empire. Whom sought power and wealth for their own
greed. Leaving region after region in chaos after blood was poured into
the land. After the battles had waged and the Kaelar governed their new land,
gangs formed looking to feed on the helpless and to earn whatever wealth they
could. They sold drugs, abandoned weapons and even sold to the Kaelar
themselves. Thanks to the war that raged on around the world orphans of warriors
and of previous governing found themselves among the hustle and bustle of the
large cities that were once their home. Helpless and unable to fend for
themselves the orphans either died or were taken in by these gangs, knowing
full well that no one wanted them and that most likely any relatives had
perished.

The gangs used young children as messengers and deliverers, no one
suspected young children of carrying drugs and daggers. These gangs typically
only found in large metropolises, the large cities contained small alleyways
and for those who inhabited them before the Kaelar were the only ones that knew of their intricacies making them perfect for gang activity. One such metropolis inhabited by the Vaelune is
where our story begins. The Vaelune empire held large regions of inhabitable
land surrounded by mountains and desert. The people that lived there lived hard
lives with water and food being constant unnerving resources that went as fast
as it came. Thus, where these people lived were typically overcrowded and located near underground springs. The architecture made of chiseled sandstone
and brick, from the distance these cities looked like mountains of rocky pikes.
As the Vaelune population continued to grow they constantly looked for
habitable land wherever they could find it even if it was close to the borders
of other empires such as the Kaelar whom did not take this migration of people
lightly. Soon after, this small village turned into a city as hundreds of
thousands of Vaelune moved to the city to try to escape the already over
populated ones.

The Kaelar whom had already started a war with another race
started to have resource issues, specifically when it came to arming their
troops for the fight. The Kaelar saw this new city as an intrusion of what they
had deemed their land, but in reality, wanted to mine the mountainous terrain
for its vast amounts of hematite, limonite, and goethite all valuable ores in
which are required to make iron. Eventually, this new metropolis unable to
fully protect itself found Kaelarian spears and arrows pointed directly at its
gates.

Chapter
2: The Boy They Called “Astridr”

Astridr was among the children ranks of a gang
called “The Holmganga (wordplay recognized for settling disputes)”, left alone
in the arms of the dying woman whom he would have one day called
"mother", Astridr was taken in by the gang as an infant and grew up
living in cramped barracks with other children, living off gruel and tattered
blankets for warmth. Not knowing where he came from or what his name was,
Astridr (Spelling and pronunciation used by the Kaelar, since most gang members were of Vaelune descent not only did the female name show disgrace but also being named a Kaelar name was even more disrepsectful) also known as Astrid in the common tongue, was a thin boy with unusual
light skin for a Vaelune, his hair long and vermilion-red. His face angular
with feminine features.

Teased by other orphaned boys he was given the name of
a girl. As he grew up, the young orphaned children that Astridr grew up with turned
into violent thugs. The gang teaching the young children how to pickpocket,
steal, how to defend yourself and use weapons like short swords and daggers.
The gang wanted to turn these children into dogs that worked for the gang. The
older gang members would take advantage of these children and spar with them
with the sole purpose to beat them up and no one lifted a finger to stop them.
The older boys who picked on Astridr for the way he looked made him into a
target.

Day in and day out, the older boys would fight Astridr beating him
until he couldn’t stand. Thus, Astridr spent many sleepless nights bruised and
beaten. However, because of these fights Astridr developed much faster than
other children his age. His hate for those who picked on those who were weaker
grew and the flame inside him grew as a result. His skills started to show as
he learned to use his opponents weight to his own advantage and eventually the
older boys started to fight him less and less as Astridr started to become too
much of a match for them. This, however, only made other children the targets
of their beatings.

Astridr, once was too weak to fight back, now stronger than
the older boys he couldn’t stand back and watch while others got beaten like him not so long ago. Eventually the small flame of hatred inside him turned into
a wildfire that would eventually expand and cause a fissure in the gang in the
future. Astridr started to fight other children’s battles protecting them. He
hoped that if he stepped in the older members would stop beating others. This
hope, however was never realized. Eventually, the older members of the gang
started to group up together and saw Astridr as an enemy someone who stood in
the way of their “fun”. If Astridr stepped in to help, the older members would
gang up on him and even as skilled as Astridr was he could not fight off the
numbers. The members would not stop with just that, the children that Astridr
had helped before were either be beaten to death in front of him or would simply
disappear without anyone knowing what had happened to them. Eventually, the
younger children stopped looking to Astridr for help begging him not to interfere and accepted the
beatings instead of death.

Chapter 3: The Ragtag Troop

Unlike the other gang members who
only wanted to deepen their pockets and cause harm to others. Astridr started
to hate this gang lifestyle and the people he was surrounded by day after day.
He looked at the proud Kaelar people who walked the streets; noble & honest.
He wanted to be a free man someone who controlled their own destiny and someone
people could respect instead of fear. Even though most of the gang members despised
Astridr he did have a few close friends whom he trusted and teamed up to complete
the tasks given to them by the head of the gang; Butros. Butros (Vaelune for
rock) was a large 6’8” (203cm) tall stocky young man in his mid-twenties. He
had been given the name after he alone had killed three heavily armed Kaelar guards
with nothing but his fists and a conveniently placed large rock. Unlike most of
the other gang members Butros was well dressed wearing traditional Vaelune
garments typically made of linen and a little baggy to allow for breathability
in the hot desert climate. A linen veil with buffed copper trim covered his medium
shaggy black hair and the back of his neck. Butros was not known for his smarts
but he was known for his strength and the fear that he put into the townsfolk. Due
to this even the Kaelar guards never bothered to stop him from doing what he pleased;
that and because Butros supplied the town militia with cheap weapons, and armor.
If he did find himself in a pinch with the local guards he had plenty of coin
lining his pockets to pay them off.

Butros assigned weekly tasks to everyone in the
gang most of the time he gave out the easiest but highest reward tasks to those
who treated him like a god who worshipped the ground he stood on. Since Astridr
was such an outcast Butros always gave some of the hardest tasks to him and his
small band of misfit members mostly comprised of skinny shy and afraid boys and
boys that were too young to be helpful. Typically, only five members actually
went out on the tasks while the other younger boys stayed behind. Astridr was
accompanied by four others, two of which were twins; Dabir & Farran. Both
were small and skinny like Astridr but not strong in any way. Dabir (meaning teacher
in Vaelune) however was very smart for his age and easily out witted most of
the other gang members which allowed him to be useful to them and thus never was
beaten because they didn’t want to “spoil his brains” from being hit in the
head to many times. He also helped teach the younger kids street smarts making him
quite the asset to Butros’ gang. Farran (meaning baker in Vaelune) was one of
the best cooks in all of the gang he could somehow turn old wheat and bread
into edible and somehow pleasant dishes with so little. The two followed
Astridr because like him they hated the Butros and his gang. Unlike most of the
other children who were orphans Dabir & Farran were taken at a very young
age from their widowed mother who was in-debited to Butros who eventually
killed her because she couldn’t pay. Though they were old enough to have names
the gang stripped you of whatever you had and gave you new names usually befitting
what you were good at. Then there was Mudawar (Vaelune for round) & Omar
(Vaelune for long living). Mudawar was a stocky average heighted boy who was wider
than he seemed tall. Big boned and strong he was a war orphan taken in by the
gang for their use when they took him he was heavy set and thus they named him
Mudawar or round. Even with the small amount of gruel or stale bread that was
given to the children Mudawar never seemed to get smaller. Most wouldn’t guess
it but Mudawar was great at stealing from merchants in the town square, he was
patient and because he wasn’t fast he would wait for the perfect time to
strike. However, due to his huge appetite his stomach usually guided his hand.
Stealing bread, sweets, and fruit he somehow always managed to keep his mouth
filled with something. Lastly, Omar probably the last person you’d expect to accompany
Astridr and his troop. Omar was an older fellow in his early twenties, he was
rough and boisterous he fit perfectly with the rest of the gang and he actually
enjoyed it. The thrill of stealing from others, sneaking in drugs or weapons past
the guards and evening killing. Omar had a reason behind his accompanying of
Astridr and no one blamed him. Omar loved taking on the hardest tasks and he
knew that Botrus would give them to Astridr and thus he joined him on every
task. He loved spewing out his stories and adventures around the fires of the
alleyways at night to the rest of the gang. Many members as well as Botrus
respected Omar and with Omar accompanying Astridr, Botrus knew that the tasks
would be completed because Omar would drag the ragtags dead bodies all the way
through if he had to.]]>
The Gateway Innhttps://forums.ashesofcreation.com/discussion/37156/the-gateway-inn
Thu, 30 Nov 2017 21:46:41 +0000Role-playing TavernGrisu37156@/discussionsSince I do think I will indulge in AoCs rp a bit, I thought I would strike up an attempt to interact with one another a bit and make the wait for the launch ever so slightly shorter. Since we barely know anything about the world, let me set a rough stage we could interact in. I have given it some thought and while skipping the reasons to not bloat this introduction I think I have a reasonable outline that makes sense. On top of that we can threat it as just a parallel universe thing we can disregard/change to whatever lore we might get over time. Just have a good time exploring our little take on the situation.(I'm really torn between keeping it all short and going in full blown out details, but the "make just the bare necessity" won out)

The introduction:We are on our exile world. For decades or longer we are living here now, even the longest lived race will have had a generation or two left behind already. It's a good enough, rough place to live and survive in and over the generations we adapted to it's short comings in resources, both material wise and magical. The individual races learned to live together too over time sitting in the same boat and while there might be differences through passed down traditions, in general, hostility comes down more to disputes between individual peoples personalities than race.We mix and mingle well, but we do know that not every home is like "my home", my people.A few months ago "the gods" have bestowed us the knowledge of possible return in the coming years and erected the gateways. Busy with their own preparation they are leaving us to our own accord. Legends were always told at fire sites/places, but now even the oldest surviving books about the most trivial things were dug up about the old world and excitement is generally high. Dreams were always woven among a good portion to return to a lusher more fulfilling world.

"The Gateway Inn":The building was placed in eyesight of one of the gateways shortly after the announcement of the gods. By now there is quite a towns worth of adventurers and curious folk that settled down close by in wait for the gates opening. The Inn itself as are most buildings in town is a modest two story wooden building. This one is rather flat but extensive to give room for a lot of people, travelers and pilgrims coming from all over to gaze and or prepare for what's to come.The entrance is set, rather than in the middle, more to the side of the front. Behind the double door entrance is some sort of reception hall that is closed off from the rest off the building. It takes up easily half of the length of the building since it is used to store any weapons brought inside. Only after leaving them behind, in exchange for a token from the staff, is anyone allowed to enter the actual Inn.The Inn itself opens up after another double door on the left side wall into a modest display of work. Immediately to the right are stairways up and surprisingly down as well. Through some well thought out construction there are two lower levels that are well lit with daylight while it lasts and supplemented with simple magical lamps when the light wanes.The main floor features only enough space for a few dozen people to get whatever drink or food they want from the counter to seat themselves at a different floor. The kitchen is apparently behind the counter, but it's out of sight behind a line of casks and barrels.Overall the Inn has a simple, comfortable and "homely" feel to it.

Celia Kestra:One of the regular bartenders, nicknamed "Seek". An elf with a friendly natured face, bright smile befitting the position, dark hair loosely bound back and apparently a lot of scars.

<opens the doors to the Inn> Let's shape our own little stories and have fun.
